I am a straight person. As a straight citizen of this 'land
of the free, home of the brave' it honestly baffles me why some
citizens can not be afforded fair rights.
It Makes NO Sense.
If we have a separation of church and state, why
is this a political issue?
I'm scared for my gay friends who might be prevented
rightful custody of their children or be denied their medical
power of attorney during crisis (as was the recent case in Florida.)
This is simply ridiculous. I mean, I'm running out of ways to
phrase the argument because my argument simply is "c'mon,
it makes sense."
Legal gay discrimination goes against our pledge
that all people are equal, against our commitment to separate
church and state and, quite simply, goes against LOGIC and basic
human compassion.
I look forward to the day in which my children
will ask 'so, gays and lesbians were really treated differently?'
with the same disbelief in their voice as was in mine when I remarked
'so, there were segregated schools and bathrooms and drinking
fountains?'
This is a revolting period in our nation's history
and the sooner we end it and treat each other with respect and
dignity, the stronger we become as a nation. Perhaps, then, we
can finally earn the title "Land of the Free, Home of the
Brave."
